- BATSMENRB4s6sSR24.2 that's a loose dismissal! Back of a length outside off, maybe it stopped on him, drives off the back and straight to short cover 76/28 nice delivery, nips back and finds the inside edge as Imam goes for the drive. Goes cheaply. 18/152.1 has he touched this? Yes, he has. Babar glances one down the leg side and can barely believe it having got himself set 168/366.1 starts to use his feet, misreads the length a touch, ends up playing half-heartedly and drags into the stumps 214/480 great catch! A second leg-side wicket of the day for Buckingham, Sarfaraz gets the glove on it and it's superbly taken by Peirson 287/589.4 brilliant grab! That's a blinder from Bancroft at first slip, diving low to his right and he's almost behind the keeper when he takes it. He's a superb slip catcher. Nice way to end the day for the PM's XI 324/698.4 is that another down the leg side? Yes, a third that way for Buckingham. Jamal gets a thin tickle on his glance. Buckingham has a wry smile 341/7106.4 five for Buckingham! Excellent reward for him. Hamza fends this short ball to leg gully where Renshaw takes a smart catch 363/8Extras13 (lb 9, nb 3, w 1)TOTAL391/9d (116.2 Overs, RR: 3.36)Did not bat: Abrar AhmedFall of wickets: 1-18 (Imam-ul-Haq, 7.6 ov), 2-76 (Abdullah Shafique, 24.2 ov), 3-168 (Babar Azam, 52.1 ov), 4-214 (Saud Shakeel, 66.1 ov), 5-287 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 79.6 ov), 6-324 (Faheem Ashraf, 89.4 ov), 7-341 (Aamer Jamal, 98.4 ov), 8-363 (Mir Hamza, 106.4 ov), 9-391 (Khurram Shahzad, 116.2 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ WD NB MT Steketee 23 2 58 1 2.52 1 2 N McAndrew 25 2 68 1 2.72 0 0 JS Buckingham 23 4 80 5 3.47 0 1 T Murphy 29 2 110 1 3.79 0 0 BJ Webster 12 2 45 0 3.75 0 0 NA McSweeney 4 0 21 0 5.25 0 0 MT Renshaw 0.2 0 0 0 0 0 0
